You mean the man who used his power to kick Nancy Pelosi out of her office out of spite? A lesser jackass is still an ass.

Jackass sure, but he's still better than literally whoever the fuck else the GOP is throwing out there. Also he didn't vote to overturn the election, so there's that plus.

Listening to CNN and theres a Republican blaming this all on the Democrats. The interviewer brought up how Matt Gaetz was the one that caused McCarthy to lose the position. He said that doesnt matter because 208 Democrats voted to remove him.

Reporter: "Surely you realize a Republican got the ball rolling?"

McCarthy: "Those damn Democrats, voting against me!!!"

We wouldn't be in this mess if the New York Democratic Party didn't completely shit the bed last November.
Seriously, fuck NY Democrats.
They were (rightfully) upset about rising crime in their state due to laws passed by their Governor and state assembly, so what do they do?
Re-elect the same state government and give the rest of the country a bunch of Republicans.
Makes sense to me! /s

Right. Still, its the Democrats fault somehow. No sense of responsibility.

McCarthy, and by extension the entire GOP, are so used to Democrats being the adults in the room, that when they aren't, they lose their shit.

Edit:

Don't forget how the GOP passed a bill, Obama warned them that it was bad, vetoed the law, the GOP overcame the veto, and still blamed Obama for the bill they themselves passed.

The Democrats were being adults. McCarthy didn't keep his promise and thus Democrats didn't save his ass from his own mistakes.

The GOP is just a group of adult children who don't ever want to admit their own mistakes.

Republicans were also the one who voted unanimously in favor of the rules package that allowed for one person to motion to vacate the speaker's chair. They voted in favor of the rule and are now acting surprised that it got used.

That's the key point. Sure it might be arcane Robert's Rules of Order shit, but they allowed it and approved it.

What's the purpose of this strategy? Why not just vote against him?
Momentum manipulation.

Gym having 25 people against him from the jump looks bad, but maybe they do manage to flip a vote in the second round so it's only 24 people. Now it looks like Gym might be gaining momentum which could cause more support for him.

Instead you have 17 of your 25 people vote against him the first time. Now even if they flip someone in the next vote you can just have another 4 people vote against him in round 2 so it shows Gym has 20 people now against him. Instead of having positive or even stagnate momentum, it looks like he is losing momentum. Which looks terrible and wouldn't just discourage additonal flips to Gym but might actually encourage people to flip against him.

House Speaker is literally the hardest job in US politics. Probably harder than being president. Its herding 200+ cats.

Everytime Gym makes promises to one rep he has to break a promise to another. Thats why he gained 2 and lost 4 today.

Republicans literally don't have an electable candidate and we are headed for shutdown.

And any attempt to blame the dems is just flailing in the wind and I think moderates/independents are seeing whats happening

Those republicans in blue/purple districts are likely sweating right now. They can count the days until they are voted out the way things are going. Those are the ones who will suffer.

And the people who love pointing this out also "coincidentally" scream bloody murder whenever someone wants to remove Confederate flags or solder iconography from government property or rename military bases named after Confederates because of "muh heritage".

Only in the U.S. could people be so dumb as to seriously claim they're the party of Lincoln and also the Confederacy is their proud heritage.
